Chapter 1 Drive Configuration
Automatic Device
Configuration Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) supports the automatic download of
configuration data to a Logix controller that has an EtherNet/IP connection to a
PowerFlex 755 drive (firmware 4.001 or later) and its associated peripherals
ADC is supported in the following:
• RSLogix 5000 software, version 20 or later
• Studio 5000 environment, version 21 or later
Project files (.ACD files) created with this software contain the configuration
settings for PowerFlex drives in the project. When the project is downloaded to
the controller, the configuration settings are transferred to controller memory.
Earlier programming software required a manual process to download
configuration settings to the controller.
ADC can also work in tandem with Firmware Supervisor. If Firmware Supervisor
is set up and enabled for a drive (Exact Match keying must be used), the drive/
peripheral is automatically upgraded (if necessary) prior to any ADC operation
for that port.
Information on Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) can be found in the
PowerFlex 755 Embedded EtherNet/IP Adapter User Manual, publication
750COM-UM001 , Chapter 4, Configuring the I/O includes the following
